Data sources for this exec list have been: CSC records, MathNEWS.
According to the warrior wiki dudes, there was an article about the CSC being founded in the chevron: ''This week on campus''. The Chevron. January 5 1968. Page 16. -- somebody should get a copy of that.

Unknown, only one letter found in the folder 'ACM History' addressed to Glenn Berry, which makes it likely that he was SE-TR once again. May be indicated in membership lists. The club appears to have died this academic year.

===A note on ACM affiliation===

The first attempt at joining the ACM was started with an informal inquiry Dec 5, 1967. This lead to a series of constitution edits (working towards affiliation) in Winter 1968. There was a break for the spring (no correspondence found, I presume we were waiting on a reply). In the fall records indicate that our constitution and chartering was rejected, further correspondence was sent in Fall 1968 by Glenn Berry. A new inquiry, seemingly unaware of the first was sent Dec 7, 1970

The Sysadmin and Office Manager positions seem to have been created somewhere in here. The 'Record Management Profile' that Robyn Stewart did as an assignment in 1991-1992 for some class at UBC
indicates the existence of both positions. We acquired an HP-9000 in the summer of 1988 and as this was out first "real" computer (previously we had an IBM PC and terminal), the sysadmin position was created, starting with the Fall 1988 term.

Website

Glgambet: adding media section for talks

== Dependencies ==

You'll need to install a few dependencies to build the website; the following command will install all dependencies if you're using a Debian-based system:

sudo aptitude install python python-libxslt1 python-libxml2 python-tz git-core python-ldap

== Checking out the website ==

The website is managed in a [http://git.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/?p=www/www.git git repository].

Any member can checkout the website using git clone:
git clone /users/www/www

This creates a directory called "www" that contains the entire website and its history. If you want to make changes to the website, you'll need to ask someone on the [[Systems Committee]] to add you to the "www" group. You should also subscribe to our [http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/git git mailing list].

== Testing your changes ==

You should test any changes you make before pushing them out for all the world to see. The easiest way to see your changes without committing them is to create a symlink into your public "www/build" directory. For example, say your local copy of the website lives in "/users/$USER/csc/www". You could symlink "/users/$USER/csc/www/build" to "/users/$USER/www/csc". Do this by typing:

ln -s /users/$USER/csc/www/build /users/$USER/www/csc

Then you could see your copy of the website at this URL:

http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~USERNAME/csc/

= Committing changes to the website =

If you add a new file to the website, you can add it to git:
git add file

To delete a file type:
git rm file

And to rename or move a file type:
git mv old-file new-file

Once you're done modifying the website you can commit your changes:
git commit -a

The above command only commits the change to your local repository; you need to push the changes out to the master repository:
git push

The above command will also automatically rebuild the website and send out an email to the git mailing list with the details of your change, as long as you are on caffeine when you push.

= Building the website =

Once you've checked out the website, you can build the website by running:
make

This will build the website into the build directory. When git-pushing, the website will be built into /srv/www-csc.

You can remove the generated files by running:
make clean

= Modifying the website =

== XML ==

The website's data is contained in a series of XML files. A series of XSLT files are used to transform the XML data into HTML files. If you want to add new information to the website you'll want to modify the XML files.

Some notable XML files:
* events.xml - past and upcoming events
* news.xml - past and upcoming items
* media/index.xml - media items (e.g. talks)

XML should be fairly easy to work with. Some important things to remember:
* All opening tags must be closed.
* All tags should be in lowercase.
* Tag and attribute names are case-sensitive.

If you want more information on XML, the following are good resources:
* The XML specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-20060816/
* XML tutorials and general reference: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp

== XSLT ==

If you want to change the HTML layout you'll want to modify the XSLT files. Almost all XSLT files are located in the 'xsl' directory. We are using XSLT 1.0 and a python front-end (xmlproc.py) to libxslt.

== CSS ==

If you want to change the style of the HTML you'll want to modify default.css. We primarily target Firefox 2.0 but every effort should be made to use CSS that renders correctly in Internet Explorer 6.0 and other browsers. You can test various Internet Explorer versions from Linux by installing [http://www.tatanka.com.br/ ies4linux]. There's also [http://browsershots.org/ browsershots.org], which will take screenshots of a page in various browsers.

== Data files ==

Data files, such as PDF's, should be copied to /srv/www-csc-misc. These files are accessible via http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/misc/.

== Media ==

To change media files, you need to update the /media/index.xml file. The format of new entries should be fairly self evident based on the pre-existing entries.

Once you have a bunch of MTS data from a talk, you need to run it through the scripts in ~git/public/csc-media to compress it and generate thumbnails (check them out, and read the readme). The scripts generate a fairly large amount of output. If you happen to be near the member quota you will want to create symlinks for encodes and timings into /scratch.

The scripts should get run on a beefy machine (ie, high-fructose-corn-syrup).

Once the video files have been encoded, the encoded files need to get uploaded to mirror. The website automagically links the <*file /> tags to "mirror.csclub.../csclub/TALK_FILE". Contact syscom to do this.

= Website vs Wiki =

In order to keep things organized, the following guidelines should be followed.

Website:
* Information not likely to change frequently (e.g. services, general information)
* Information that should only be modifiable by the exec
* Official documents (e.g. constitution, policies)
* Current and past executive
* User and club lists
* News, events, and media items
* Anything we want non-members to see when they first encounter our site

Wiki:
* Information that changes frequently
* Information that any club member should be able to add to or modify
* Exec and office staff guides/manuals
* System and hardware documentation
* Past funding opportunities and advice (assuming this can be publicly posted)
* Contacts (e.g. CSCF, SCS) (assuming this can be publicly posted)

Also note that we can protect various pages if they shouldn't be edited in general.

= Conventions =

== Email Addresses ==

'''Note''': this convention is not currently used and is not recommended for now.

Email addresses should be wrapped in <email> tags. For example, if you want to include the email example@csclub.uwaterloo.ca you should include the following xml snippet:
<email>example@csclub.uwaterloo.ca</email>
Leading and trailing whitespace will be stripped so it is safe to do this:
<email>
example@csclub.uwaterloo.ca
</email>
Currently this just generates an standard mailto link. In order to prevent spammers from harvesting address, I want to generate an image that contains the address.

My current plan is to generate the email images while running make. This would be accomplished by creating a csc:email function that generates and saves the image to http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/images/. The image name would be generated from HMAC(email, key), where key is some secret key/phrase.

= Feature Requests and Ideas =

* Possibly move club list onto wiki.
* Convert cellspacing and cellpadding to CSS equivalents.
* Make RSS and ICS feeds more prominent.
* Replace or compliment /events with a web-based calendar?
* Replace all email addresses with generated graphics or javascript obfuscation?
* Replace 's with 's wherever it makes sense.
* Replace , , , etc... tags with CSS.
* Highlight (e.g. make left bar green) current page in directory header

Library Project

2014-10-23T21:53:26Z

Glgambet:

== Existing Solution ==
There is a menu entry in [[ceo]] for the library. Do not use this for library stuff.

In Fall 2013, a new database and library interface is being implemented to make it easier to maintain the library and check out books. The book checkout system will likely be added to [[ceo]]

== Objectives ==
Our club library is pretty impressive, for 1980. We should seriously consider changing this to the present. Content decisions seem to generally be made by strongly opinionated individuals whereas we should be focused on providing resources for anyone on campus who is interested in computer science.
* Bring in a proper library management system.
** This is being written. If interested in contributing, contact jladan.
* Update and improve library content.
* Set up some method of keeping the library current in the future.
* Re-evaluate the purpose of our library.

== Books Wishlist ==
Split to [[Books Wishlist]]

== Pruning the Library ==
Split to [[Book Pruning]]

== Guidelines for Library Funding ==
In the past, our budgets have failed to focus much attention to the library,
even though our textbooks keeping getting older and less relevant, and courses
and frontiers in Computer Science evolve. It is a shame that we don't have a book
on multi-core programming, or artificial intelligence! The following guideline
provides a detailed strategy for budgeting for books in the future :

'''This guideline is likely high, because most undergrad courses are moving towards printed course notes rather than textbooks.'''

*Did you know that every year approximately 20% of the courses in [http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/ SCS] change their books & edition?
This equates to something like $1000 of new material per year. As a result :
**We need to raise at least $1,000 annually to keep up with the material used to cover courses in SCS
**We will need to raise most of it during the Fall & Winter terms since :
***First offerings of courses occur in the Fall/Winter term each year and that is when the new textbooks arrive
***Historically we get higher memberships and people on campus so more funding
*Did you know that CS is a constantly changing field?
**New fields within CS are discovered every year
**New technologies and paradigms (e.g. multi-core programming) occur every 5 to 10 years?
**New knowledge is discovered in the field that replaces our older (less accurate) knowledge?
We therefore need to allocate roughly $1,500 per year to have a library that accurately reflects the current
and state of the art of computer science. To say that our library is not state of the art in CS is an extreme
under-statement. This funding could be equally spread out to $500 per term from mathsoc.

Currently our library is very much outdated and does not have textbooks that reflect the courses that CS students are
currently taking. From my estimate we need approximately $5,000 to have an up to date CS library. Therefore for the immediate strategy we need to get at least $1,500 per term from Mathsoc/MEF to allow our library a chance at staying current with the department's offerings. Therefore we should try to budget in $2,000 for Fall,Winter and Spring to get our library updated to the CS courses as well as to cover some of the frontiers and state of the art in computing that will serve our library into the future.

A great deal of discussion has been spent talking about our library equipment and possible hardware (barcode upgrades for instance). However I don't think it would be responsible for us to look at these areas and especially to budget these improvements in if we don't have a vastly updated library.

== Fixing the Library ==
A statement :
The only way to get the library fixed is through terms of growing and pruning.
As mentioned above, we need to grow our library to reflect the courses offered in SCS,
as well as to cover the current and state of the art in CS.

At the same time it is important that we prune down our library to contain relevant and
updated material. There is no point in having a cluttered library that makes it hard to
find reference material because we must hold on to books that are 20/30+ years old. We
don't need to have books on APL/360 programming, and having these old unnecessarry books
will pollute our library with irrelevance and outdatedness.

The only way the library can be fixed is to find the solutions to the direct problems in our
library. That is rather than worrying about the irrelevant technical details of the library system,
we need to take a look at our inventory (that is our books) and see what needs growing and pruning.
We can build the technical layers once we have built the paper layers (that is the physical books have
been purchased or have been planned to be purchased). It will take courage and will to follow
this procedure since we will have to let go of things that need letting go.
== Proposed Library Update Plan ==
One of the problems in keeping any library relevant is to ensure that reference material
is up to date and current with the area of study in question. This is especially true in
the area of computer science and technology where ideas change fast. The following are some
suggested considerations which could aid in keeping our library up to date now and into the
future.
* Safari Bookshelf Subscription
Safari Bookshelf is a online web service that allows you to read any O'Reilly book for a
subscription fee (usually around $40/month). This service will give the CSC an excellent
online library resource, where members can login and view all of the latest O'Reilly books
including those yet to be published. Access control would be a concern which would need
to be addressed in using such a system, however the concept of having an electronic resource
of continually up to date reference material is tempting.
* What are the new technologies and ideas in computer science?
This is the question that we should be asking ourselves at least at the beginning of the term
to determine what new books need to be purchased to fill the reference gap that builds going from
term to term. We should have a firm commitment of purchasing at least 10 reference books per term
to ensure that we are getting the breadth and depth requirements of having a successful CS library,
especially when it is common for dozens of new CS books to be released every term.
* What are the official CS course textbooks?
The CSC should have an up to date library of all of the required textbooks for all of the CS courses
offered at the University. This will allow our members to quickly access their course reference materials
should they ever leave their books at home, or need to look at the book desperately for an assignment that
is coming due soon. The CSC be a source of reference for CS students who need the references that drive
many of their CS courses.
* What books are getting old?
** How relevant is the book's content today?
** Has the book gone to a new edition?
** Have their been fundamental changes in the topic which are not reflected in the current book?
** How popular is the book? (This can be determined by how many times it has been checked out from the library system)
** Does the material fill a large gap in our reference material?
== Library Accessories ==
There has also been some talk for suggested accessories or tools for our library system. The
following is the current list of such accessories and reasons behind getting such accessories.
* Magstripe Member Cards
Each CSC member could have a magstripe member card which would allow them to check-in and checkout
books by swiping their card at a swiper and then scanning the book in question. This could speed
up the check-in/check-out times since they do not need to enter information into the system, but
rather scan their cards. The magstripe cards could later be extended with CEO to allow term renewal
via card swipe, as well as other value added features.
* Wireless barcode scanner.
The wireless barcode scanner will allow us to go up to the books and scan them in, rather than
having to move the books over to the barcode scanner to have them scanned. This will allow for
a degree of more freedom when scanning in books (especially when we receive the stack of new
books)
* RFID tags
When we receive new books, RFID tags encoded with book information is attached to each book.
Whenever, someone checks-in/checks out books, all you need to do is wave the book in front of a scanner
without having to locate the barcode, which could speed up the process of checking in and out books

Glgambet: Added Shellcoder's handbook

This page consists of books we'd like to get to stock the [[library]]. It is divided into 3 sections. The first is books going on this term's MEF proposal, this should be done by whoever is writing the proposal. The second is a list of actual books with ISBN. The third is vague ideas of what kind of books we need. The goal is for this page to be emptied by way of moving things from section three up to section one and then off.

==Actually Important==
* Get a list of ports to open for when the perimeter firewall goes up.

==General==
* Buy hardware upgrades for `natural-flavours` from MEF money.
* Prepare MEF request for `sodium-benzoate` upgrades/replacement.
* Make roundcube use webauth, or else make webauth not tell you not to log into roundcube.
* Establish remote syslog
* Get ginseng installed in the Science machine room
* Get UPS monitoring working across multiple systems
* Clean up the cabling in the office.
* Get `/users` onto LVM.
* `/users` backups
* Disaster recovery plan
* Back up containers?
* Get an IP/KVM for the machine room which doesn't suck?
* Update the wiki.
* Get stuff for natural-flavours & install
* Sort through keyboards in the office
* Fix the webcam counter (jj2baile)
* Put ginseng back together
* Figure out all the hardware in the office
* mounting USB sticks - special permissions required, can they be relaxed?

==When in the Machine Room==
* Rotate CPUs in `hfcs` to see if it's the CPU or the socket that's causing NMI issues.
* Set up binaerpilot?
* Make sure that the IPMI/console connections are correct, up-to-date, and working.
